We move in blocks, not a clock.
No bells, no minute-by-minute schedule — just a loose rhythm that flexes to the energy of the group, in this order.
Our Daily Rhythm
The Seven Circles Framework
Wilder's curriculum was not bought or franchised. It was designed from scratch by our founding team. The Seven Circles Framework organizes all programming around seven connected circles that build outward from the child.
Circle 1
Self — I Am Whole
Identity, emotions, and knowing who you are.
Circle 2
Body — I Care for Myself
Health, movement, strength, nutrition, and caring for yourself.
Circle 3
Roots — I Belong
Family, heritage, place, and where you come from.
Circle 4
Make — I Build
Designing, building, and creating real things with your hands.
Circle 5
Wild — I Wonder
Nature, the outdoors, observation, and curiosity about the living world.
Circle 6
Give — I Give
Service, generosity, and contributing to your community.
Circle 7
Connect — I Connect
Relationships, the wider world, and being part of something larger.
